I was getting in LC3 the other day and my key would not go into the ignition switch (1971 FJ40-original switch). I had to do alittle hotwire job in order to get home and I switched the ignition switch out with the one from LC2. When I look where the key goes, it doesn't look like anything is there; however, the key will still not go in. I have decided to try and replace the lock cylinder and see that SO$ has on available. I tried to get the lock cylinder out of the switch housing but it wouldn't budge and whenever I really torque on something-it usually turns out badly (like my hatch lock cylinder!) Any ideas how to get the lock cylinder out of the switch housing or has anyone bought the switch from SO$? I guess I could call them and see what all is included. Thanks.

Ignition on the column or the dash...
Column is servicable and will come out, if you can get the key in there to turn it...
Dash is not..AFAIK...
Replace with new.... Good idea,
Good luck!

Yup. I was going to say the same thing. Got one for the '45 from Dan.

Mine did that once last winter. A shot of WD-40 and some wiggling of the key did the trick. Never happened again. Weird.Recon1504 said:
